Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477477 Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: urw-fonts AssignedTo: than(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: than(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or several font files: repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb' -f '*.pfa' --qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e 's+-[0-9.-]*\.fc[123456789]\(.*\)src.rpm++g'|sort|uniq Unfortunately the script does not detect symlinks to other packages, so if that's your case, you can close this bug report now. Otherwise, you should know that: - Fedora guidelines demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package or subpackage: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts_… - our font packaging guidelines recently changed, and every package that ships fonts must be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel package. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_(2… http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts Please make your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide. If your package is not principaly a font package, depending on a separate font package or subpackage is the prefered solution. If your application does not use fontconfig you can always package symlinks to the files provided by the font package and installed in the correct fontconfig directories. It is preferred to make a font package or subpackage per font family, though it is not currently a hard guidelines requirement (it may become before Fedora 11 is released). The definition of a font family is given on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family The new templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe. The following packages have already been converted and can serve as examples: - andika-fonts - apanov-heuristica-fonts - bitstream-vera-fonts - charis-fonts - dejavu-fonts - ecolier-court-fonts - edrip-fonts - gfs-ambrosia-fonts - gfs-artemisia-fonts - gfs-baskerville-fonts - gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts - gfs-bodoni-fonts - gfs-complutum-fonts - gfs-didot-classic-fonts - gfs-didot-fonts - gfs-eustace-fonts - gfs-fleischman-fonts - gfs-garaldus-fonts - gfs-gazis-fonts - gfs-jackson-fonts - gfs-neohellenic-fonts - gfs-nicefore-fonts - gfs-olga-fonts - gfs-porson-fonts - gfs-solomos-fonts - gfs-theokritos-fonts - stix-fonts - yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts If you have any remaining questions about the new guidelines please ask them on fedora-fonts-list at redhat.com -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 22621] New: RFE: Add font autoinstallation support

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22621 Summary: RFE: Add font autoinstallation support Product: WebKit Version: 528+ (Nightly build) Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: Enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Text AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned(a)lists.webkit.org ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com The Linux platform is gaining an on-demand font autoinstallation framework (BSD and Solaris will probably follow eventually). http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticFontInstallation Webkit browsers should be plugged into it and use it to request the fonts the pages they render need. This would have a huge user impact, especially for pages that have strong i18n constrains. Unlike proposals such as @font-face and EOT the fonts are sourced from trusted user-controlled sources, are properly vetted legal-side, use the latest font versions not old obsolete ones (with bug fixes), and are installed system-wide where other apps can take advantage of them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.webkit.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In practical terms, the Greek Extended Unicode group is made of the Greek characters with a variety of accents (they are precomposed characters).

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18726 Summary: RFE: help write locale-specific tests Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: library AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Due to Han unification there is often a need for font distributors to test if a font name is requested in a chinese, japanese or korean context. However, there are many chinese locales and writing an exact match is not possible. The current pattern (used by Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc) in this case is <test compare="contains" name="lang"> <string>zh</string> </test> but we do not really want to match every locale containing "ze". We want to match every ze-foo locale, not jze-foo or foo-ze Please add a documented fonts.conf pattern to fontconfig that allows distributors to specify such an exact match. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 18470] New: conf.avail can be considered an FHS violation

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18470 Summary: conf.avail can be considered an FHS violation Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: conf AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com As explained in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2008-October/003030.html conf.avail can be considered an FHS violation Can it be moved somewhere in /usr/share? We'd like to make font packages use the conf.d/conf.avail split in Fedora 11 but our package auditing tools do not like an /etc/fonts/conf.avail read-only directory at all, strongly hinting the current default should be changed. And if it has to be changed we'd rather it was changed before scores of packages depend on the current default. Fedora 11 packaging cycle will open soonish. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The filesystem maintainer has been asked to release the corresponding directories in bug #477046 Please rebuild fontconfig against fontpackages-devel to pick up the directory names it defines in macros, and depend on fontpackages-filesystem that owns the directories.
